Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 201
The second day of September in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

Wanyang County, the third day after the Rakshasa Holy Sect broke into the city.

The streets were sparsely populated, and groups of expressionless warriors in black were patrolling around. Occasionally, there were sounds of warriors fighting in the city, and the entire city was filled with a suffocating sense of depression.

Most of the people who occasionally passed by were in a hurry and did not dare to talk. Only some courageous people and warriors with cultivation dared to whisper behind the backs of the patrolling soldiers in black.

"Are they from the Demon Cult?"

"No, look at the two-color lotus on the back of their clothes. I heard from others that these people seem to be warriors from a third-rate family with the surname Hou in Tongling County. For a short time, Wanyang County is under their control!"

"It's under their control. Where are the people from the Demon Cult?"

"The demon sect's army is now stationed in Longxiang County. Now the news has spread. During the time when we were surrounded, the reinforcements from Longxiang County and Yangping County were wiped out. The three counties in Hexi are now owned by the demon sect."

"A small third-rate clan is in charge of a county. Aren't they afraid of causing trouble?"

"Hey, let's give it a try. Swordmaster Ren from Longxiang County and Swordmaster Mu from Yangping County. Do you know who defeated them?"

"Who?"

"This is the head of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao, the Thousand-faced Jade Man!"

"How is this possible? I remember that Ren Jianshi is the Grand Master of the Fourth Realm, and Mu Jianshi is the Grand Master of the Third Realm. The head of a third-rate small family is at the Dan Bao stage at most, right?"

"That's all from the old almanac. Brothers, hurry up and go to Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower to take a look at the latest issue of the Nine Rankings in the World!"

"By the way, the Hou family is going to hold a banquet at the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower to entertain all the powerful masters of the three counties. It seems to be today. I heard that anyone who wants to participate can go. Let's go and have a look."

"Let's go, I'll go too!"

…………

On the street, a team of 14 people, each armed with a long sword, was riding a horse and marching slowly into the city. The leader was a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi with a peaceful face. On the top of the sword on his waist, there was a green dragon jade pendant, which was quite elegant. the wind.

On the left side of the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi is an old man in Tsing Yi who faces a kind face, and on the right is a girl in a white dress who looks to be in her early twenties. The 11 people behind the three are all wearing white clothes and have younger faces. Although the 14 people face each other in different costumes, But they all have a blue sword tattooed on their sleeves.

As they walked, they listened to the discussions on both sides of the street. Especially when they heard that the patrolling men in black were all warriors of the Hou family, they all looked sideways at them. With just one look, everyone showed some solemn expressions.

The old man in green faced the middle-aged man next to him and said with a hint of surprise:

"Sect Master, these patrolling men in black have at least the seventh level of cultivation. There are 500 people in one street. The entire Wanyang County adds up to thousands of people. This Hou family is so powerful, but he is only a demon. It is simply unbelievable that a small, third-rate clan can be so powerful in the Yongzhou Demonic Way?"

After the old man spoke, the girl in the white dress on the right also spoke.

"My Sword Sect has been based in Longxiang County for more than a hundred years. So far, I have only just over 1000 members of the fifth-level sect, and more than [-] people of the seventh-level and above. I am indeed not as good as the Hou family!"

Although the dozen or so people behind him did not speak, most of them showed their approval. They are all middle and high-level members of the famous sword sect, and they have a certain understanding of the sect's situation. , the famous sword sect is definitely not as good as this Hou family.

Yue Wenzhu smiled faintly and said: "Don't belittle yourself. As far as I know, the Hou family was originally just a third-rate small clan. However, during the Tongling Demon Rebellion a month ago, Ding Buhu led the Daluo Sect to apostatize, and the Hou family Not only did he take the opportunity to annex almost all other incoming forces in Tongling, he also included Tongling's five thousand army, and he has become the actual controller of Tongling.

This time, the Hou family's [-] troops assisted the Demon Cult and successfully captured the three counties of Hexi. They killed countless enemies and achieved outstanding military exploits. There are rumors that Master Fanyin is likely to give them all the three counties of Hexi. Although I don't really believe it. But it can also explain the status of the Hou family in the eyes of the Rakshasa Holy Cult.

If you look at it this way, regardless of strength or influence, the Hou family has already reached the standard of a second-rate force. It is only a matter of time before they are promoted. At present, they are just in name. If you still look at them with the eyes of a third-rate force, you will be disappointed. Big loss! "

Speaking of what happened next, Yue Wenzhu turned his attention to his daughter and the eleven famous Sword Sect disciples behind him, obviously wanting to explain to them.

In fact, there was no need to explain. When all the disciples heard the sect leader's words, they all showed unquestionable expressions in their eyes.

Daughter Yue Qianfu nodded solemnly, took out a booklet, and said solemnly to Yue Wenzhu: "Father, is it true that Dajin's evaluation of these two brothers is too high, and he actually put them on the list of new stars in the magic path at the same time? went……"

"I also think it's a bit high. The Six States of the Devil's Way, not to mention the Four Great Sacred Lands, have powerful influence like Guo Jiangzhiqing, and there are countless young geniuses. This new star list only includes 100 people. Although the two brothers Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan both have the second grandmaster Realm of cultivation, but it’s not like I’ll be on the list directly!”

"Not only that, these two brothers are also on the Great Demon Slayer List of White Deer Academy:

The Thousand-faced Jade Man Hou Yuxiao, number 492, has a bounty of 200 million taels; the Demon Confucian Hou Yuduan of Zhaoyang, number 503, has a bounty of 195 million taels. Whoever kills these two brothers will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life..."

"What are you talking about? Shut up!"

Hearing that the disciples behind him were talking more and more excessively, Yue Wenzhu noticed that someone behind him was approaching him, and he quickly scolded the disciple next to him who was speaking out loud.

After this scolding, the disciples behind him immediately realized that the Mingjian Sect was already under the rule of the Rakshasa Holy Sect. The Wanyang County they were in at the moment was the territory of the Hou family. They all quickly shut their mouths and did not dare to speak again. What nonsense.

"Zongzhu Yue, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style!"

A powerful voice came from the other side of the street. Yue Wenzhu was relieved when he heard the voice. He turned back to look at the other party, with a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Yue has been very good these days. Even my hair is grey, I never thought about Hall Master Ke, but I am in good spirits!"

The visitor is Ke Jiangyun, the leader of the second-rate Fengbo Hall in Yangping County. The strength of Yangping County has always been lower than that of Longxiang County, and the power gap between the two places is also obvious. Ke Jiangyun is similar in age to Yue Wenzhu, both over 100 years old, but only the Grandmaster. Three realms of cultivation.

Ke Jiangyun is dressed in white. He has dark skin and is not big. Compared with Yue Wenzhu, he is not even a bit different in appearance. There are more than ten people following him. Their lowest cultivation level is Gang Qi realm. They should all be from Fengbo Hall. master.

Yue Wenzhu immediately recognized the thin old man closest to him as Lu Diankang, another deputy head of the Fengbo Hall besides Li Wenxuan, with a second-level master cultivation.

Ke Jiangyun saw the wry smile on Yue Wenzhu's face and immediately understood what he meant. He smiled heartily and said, "What's there to worry about? It doesn't matter whether it's the Wanjian Sacred Sect or the Rakshasa Sacred Sect, it's just a different world." , haven’t the days still passed by!”

"It's easy for you to say that. Let me ask you, among the [-] reinforcements from Yangping County to help Wanyang County, is there anyone in your Fengbo Hall?"

When Ke Jiangyun heard this question, he looked stunned at first, and then his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he whispered: "Sect Master Yue is saying that the Demonic Church will pursue this matter?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Do you really think that nothing will happen if you submit a letter of surrender to the Demon Sect? Your Fengbo Hall has 3000 people, and I, the Sword Sect, have 4000 people. Everyone remembers it clearly. Now everything There are more than 7 prisoners in Yangjun's sky prison. In addition to the silver-armored soldiers, the largest number are people from the major incoming forces when the Demon Cult army came over.

Why do you think the Hou family held a banquet in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower with such great fanfare and invited all the masters of the mainstream forces in the three counties? "

"So, the Hou family held this banquet specifically to discuss how to deal with the prisoners?"

Yue Wenzhu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Of course it's not just this matter, how does the Demon Cult deal with the rumors about my three counties in Hexi, has Master Ke heard?"

Ke Jiangyun frowned, nodded, and said with a strange expression: "I've heard rumors that the Demon Sect will give the three counties of Hexi to the Hou family. Sect Master Yue won't believe such ridiculous rumors, right?"

Yue Wenzhu shook his head, of course he didn't believe it.

No one with any sense would believe this rumor.

The Hou family performed brilliantly and made great contributions to the war in the three counties of Hexi. This is indeed true, but it must be noted that without the Demon Cult army, the Hou family would have ambushed the Longxiang County reinforcements and deceived Yangping with only their own strength. County reinforcements, he couldn't do either of the two things.

Putting aside the Demon Cult army, the strength of the Hou family is not that strong!

One Hou Yuxiao and one Hou Yuduan, after all, the entire Hou family only has two grandmasters. This number of grandmasters is not as good as that of ordinary second-rate forces.

Fame does not equal strength.

The brothers teamed up to kill Ding Dian, the king of magic, Hou Yuxiao seriously injured Ren Feixing, the fourth-level grandmaster, defeated Mu Qingwu, the third-level grandmaster alone, Hou Yuduan fought alone and was undefeated by Ren Feixing, and seriously injured Li Wenxuan...

Ordinary people will only be amazed by these amazing achievements of the two brothers, but smart people can find that most of their achievements are due to the power of the blood of the army. Ren Feixing, Mu Qingwu, and Li Wenxuan were all suppressed by the blood of the army. In this case, he was defeated by the two brothers.

That is to say, if there is no army, the real strength of the two brothers should be greatly reduced, so the reputation of the two should be greater than their strength at this stage.

The Hou family only has two second-level masters, but they have already occupied Tongling County. If the Demon Sect really gives them all three counties in Hexi, then the Hou family will have four counties in their hands.

The four counties and cities are already equivalent to half of the city. The weaker first-rate strength can only have such a large scope of influence. The Hou family's current strength is at the end of the second rate at best. Even if they want such a large territory, they don't have such a big territory. ability.

"This rumor is naturally not credible, but after all, the Demon Cult will find a way to govern the three counties of Hexi. After spending so much effort to defeat it, they will not ignore it!"

Ke Jiangyun understood immediately, and said with a look on his face: "Brother Yue is saying that at this banquet, the Hou family will announce the demon sect's methods for dealing with the three counties in Hexi and those of us who have surrendered?"

Seeing Yue Wenzhu nodding, Ke Jiangyun moved his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice with a bewitching tone: "We are all considered to have surrendered to the Rakshasa Holy Cult now, and we are no different from the Hou family. We don't have to surrender or not. Are you serving the Holy Religion?
At present, the strongest person in the three counties of Hexi is Brother Yue. He is the most powerful force and deserves the title of famous sword sect. Brother Yue, please forgive Ke for speaking bluntly, but we must not let the Hou family occupy the magpie's nest! "

Yue Wenzhu had no reaction yet, but the expressions of the old man in green next to him, Duan Heyan, the famous elder of the Sword Sect, and his daughter Yue Qianfu immediately became interested.

The meaning of Ke Jiangyun's instigation is obvious, and anyone who is not stupid can hear it, but the problem is that his words do make sense, and they are extremely tempting to the famous sword sect.

They are all hanging out in the world. If they can climb up, who would want to be inferior to others?
"Master Ke, be careful. Let's go to the banquet first and see what Madam Hou has to say..."

"It doesn't matter, Sect Master Yue, please!"

Seeing the expressive look on Yue Wenzhu's face, Ke Jiangyun knew that going too far is not enough, so he did not continue talking, but went directly to the banquet with him.

This place was originally not far from the city center, and the streets were sparsely populated at this time, so the group soon arrived at Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower.

As soon as everyone arrived, several experienced boys rushed up and took the horses away. Another boy, who was obviously the leader, led everyone in with a smile.

"I remember that the owners of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower are Tianding Sect and Lu Jianshi. The Tianding Sect was destroyed, and both Sect Master Tong and Lu Jianshi fled. Your owners should be replaced now, right?"

This was not the first time Yue Wenzhu came to Wanyang County, and he asked the boy who led the way with great interest.

The young man looked at everyone's attire and knew that he couldn't afford to offend him. Fortunately, he had explained this problem many times today. He nodded with an apologetic smile and said: "To be honest with you all, the Holy Cult issued an order on the day they entered the city. The entire territory of Yang County is under the control of the Hou family. The properties of the former Sword Master and Tianding Sect have been taken over by the Hou family, including our Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building. Our new shopkeeper is called Wan Xiaolou, and he is the head of the family, Hou Yuxiao. My disciples are waiting for you in the building right now!"

The golden belt for murder and arson, the ancients honestly did not deceive me...

Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun looked at each other and sighed slightly in their hearts. This sentence came to their minds almost at the same time.

The Sword Master has managed the entire Wanyang County for 400 years, and the Tianding Sect is the strongest second-rate force in Wanyang County. Together, the wealth accumulated by these two families is definitely far superior to the Famous Sword Sect and Fengbo Hall.

It's a pity that if it overturns now, it will be advantageous for the Hou family.

The two sighed and continued walking into the building. They had just reached the door and had not yet entered. Suddenly, a young man in black clothes, about seventeen or eighteen years old, walked out from inside, smiled and said respectfully to them, cupping his fists. : "Junior Wan Xiaolou, pay my respects to the two seniors!"

The greetings of the young man in black immediately caused a look of displeasure on the faces of the group. All of them had a minimum cultivation level of the Gang Qi Realm. It was obvious at a glance that the young man only had the sixth level of Kai Shen cultivation. Regardless of his cultivation level, Whether it is Fengbotang or Mingjianzong, they are the most ordinary disciples, and they are not qualified to greet Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun at all.

An ordinary Gang Qi realm disciple from Fengbo Hall couldn't help but want to step forward to scold him, but Ke Jiangyun gently blocked him with his hand.

"He actually sent his disciples to come out to greet him in person. Master Hou Jiazhu is really interested!"

"Young friend Wan is so considerate and courteous that Yue can't wait to meet your respected master. I would be grateful if you could introduce me to him!"

Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun's politeness made Wan Xiaolou sigh a little. This is the difference in status brought about by different identities. After the change of ownership of Wanyang County, he also legitimately joined the Hou family. The label of Hou Yuxiao's disciple also It was a complete blow to him.

Although this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of compliment, every time he experienced it, he would have some different thoughts.

The Gang Qi Realm warrior from Fengbo Hall tried to scold him just now, but naturally he couldn't escape his eyes.

Strength always comes first. Although these people respect me openly, they are afraid that they don't take me seriously. The only people they respect are Hou and Master.

Naturally, Wan Xiaolou would not say what he was thinking. He showed a humble smile and slightly cupped his hands towards the two of them and said: "Xiaolou is weak in strength. The two seniors are ridiculous. The master will arrive later. The three uncles I am waiting for the two masters inside, please come in quickly!"

The two nodded slightly, followed Wan Xiaolou with a group of people behind them, and slowly walked into the building.

When they walked into the lobby of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, a look of shock suddenly appeared on their faces.

In the hall, which is about 30 feet square, there are more than 20 people sitting in clear lines. Each group has about ten to [-] people. Taken together, there are at least five or six hundred people in the crowd.

"All the incoming forces from the three counties have arrived!"
